Abstract
A head mounted device control method includes capturing situation data, using the situation data to determine whether a wearer of a head mounted device is inside a moving vehicle, and when it is determined that the wearer is inside a moving vehicle, controlling an image capture apparatus in the head mounted device to capture an environmental image, using the captured environmental image to determine whether a seat taken by the wearer is a driver's seat, and when it is determined that the seat taken by the wearer is the driver's seat, disabling a preset service, where the preset service includes a screen display service of a near-eye display. The method may reduce diversion of attention of the wearer, and improve driving safety.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the environmental image is captured by:
setting photographing parameters; and
performing photographing to obtain the environmental image,
wherein the photographing parameters are determined according to the moving speed data or are preset standard photographing parameters,
wherein using the captured environmental image to determine whether the seat taken by the wearer is the driver's seat comprises determining whether the seat taken by the wearer is the driver's seat by:
detecting whether the environmental image comprises a preset mark; or
calculating a similarity between the captured environmental image and a preset standard environmental image,
wherein the seat taken by the wearer is the driver's seat when the environmental image comprises the preset mark,
wherein the seat taken by the wearer is not the driver's seat when it is detected that the environmental image does not comprise the preset mark,
wherein the seat taken by the wearer is the driver's seat when the calculated similarity between the captured environmental image and the preset standard environmental image is greater than or equal to a similarity threshold, and
wherein the seat taken by the wearer is not the driver's seat when the calculated similarity between the captured environmental image and the preset standard environmental image is less than the similarity threshold.
3. A bead mounted device control apparatus, comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor, wherein the instructions are executed by the processor to cause the head mounted device control apparatus to:
use captured status data to determine a status of a wearer of the head mounted device, wherein the status comprises a driving state and a non-driving state;
disable a preset service when the wearer is in the driving state, wherein the preset service comprises at least one of a screen display service of a near-eye display, a manual input service, and a projection and display service, wherein the captured status data comprises situation data and an environmental image, and wherein the situation data comprises at least one type of moving speed data, signal strength data of a vehicle mounted wireless network, user schedule data, and environmental noise strength data;
